Random things - finally!
This actually scares me. I mean, most people who've met me would probably say that I'm an open book, but truth be told, I tell them what I think can be told and keep all the good stuff in. Pretty stupid and paranoid for someone who preaches "Thou shalt not judge".
I'm going to go for 50 (Redjuelle, I can't match your 100 so I'm going for half) I'm facing my fear and subjecting you to it. Here they are:
1. I really hate reptiles and amphibians. I'd hold them on a dare but inside, I'm a screaming heap of mess.
2. I'm truly a walking contradiction. I like to make people laugh and I like to be around them for observation and writing ideas but I hate being around too much people as well. It's like I'm an agoraphobic anthrophobic extrovert.
3. Though I still hate my name (and the explanations that follow it) I'm starting to appreciate its usefulness in providing me with opportunities to be sarcastic and snarky.
4. My ultimate crush is still David Bowie from Labyrinth. Spiky mullets...ooohh..
5. I hate ampalaya with a vengeance.
6. I don't like reading text messages that are written in internet code. It's unnatural for words not to have any vowels. (with the exception of rhythm, of course)
7. I wish I could write prolifically. I want to be able to affect people with my writing.
8. I sometimes write letters to no one in particular and leave them in random places, hoping someone would find them, read them and keep them.
9. I won a (sorta) beauty pageant when I was a kid. I got to be Thumbelina and I rode on a huge ass flower float and waved my way around town.
10. I hate it when people say I'm beautiful because they're big fat liars. I'm smart, quirky and funny. Let's leave it at that.
11. My father taught me how to play the guitar. He also taught me how to sing. He also taught me how to break hearts.
12. I love smelling my kids' feet.
13. I have prophetic dreams. Not deja vu but dreams that sort of gives me a preview of what's going to happen. By the time I figure out that I saw this scene before, I may have made the same mistake the dreams were telling me not to do in the first place. Precognitive dreams for the really unobservant person. How screwed up is that?
14. For the first 8 years of my life, I was convinced that I was a boy.
15. I was 29 when I found out what an ellipsis is. I just called it "dot dot dot".
16. My new favorite place in the world is New York. Bali is my number 2.
17. I spend too much on DVDs, pens and blank unruled notebooks.
18. My craft box is overflowing. Methinks it's time for me to create something soon.
19. I miss acting.
20. I'm still gung ho about making my indie film. I just need someone who's willing to be naked in front of the camera.
21. I really don't believe in God but in times of desperation, I pray.
22. I'm frustrated that I can't even fill half of my 120G iPod. It makes me feel so uncultured.
23. I miss my best friend.
24. Sometimes I feel guilty that one of my "happy places" is within my children's arms. I should be giving them that, not the other way around. It's indulging though and I often cry when I'm there.
25. I believe my kids are freaking geniuses. Then again, most parents think that of their kids.
26. I didn't think I was capable of motherhood and domesticity until my husband came along and showed me the way.
27. I really love Filipino films. I just don't want to ruin my rep by admitting it publicly. (And now, the cat's out of the bag. There goes my rep)
28. I sometimes creep people out so they'd leave me alone.
29. I carry a multitude of pens and calligraphy pens with me all the time. They're my security blanket.
30. I believe that everyone should visit a psychiatrist/psychotherapist like they would the dentist - twice a year.
31. Sometimes when I go to a Starbucks I tell them my name is either "tune", "soothe" or "nication". I think I'm the only one that giggles when barista goes "White chocolate mocha, half soy, half non-fat for "nication"! Fornication!" (What?? I think it's funny)
32. I cook. Contrary to popular belief, they are quite edible.
33. I was 4 when I first tried to run away from home to join the circus. I came back 20 minutes later because I was hungry.
34. My head is a very dark place to be in. I haven't been paying the electricity bill for a long time.
35. I know why most people don't like me.
36. I wish I could hate my grandmother for what she did to my mom and her siblings.
37. I got giddy yesterday when Sera Gamble and Jim Beaver added me as a friend in Facebook.
38. I take my coffee sweet and my life experiences bitter.
39. My rose tattoo on my right wrist is there to remind me that IT is my RIGHT wrist.
40. My memory is often freakin' awesome.
41. I think I have great fashion sense. I just don't have enough clothes.
42. Between rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, no contest - I'd go for boobs. Who'd want to stare at and fondle a nose?
43. I don't really want to be a porn star - I just want to be a burlesque queen.
44. I don't drink beer unless I don't have money or there's no other alcoholic beverage available.
45. I sometimes read gay porn. I think it's hot.
46. I'd like to change my name to Urduja.
47. I've got big size 9 feet.
48. I really would love to have a cat as a pet. But my husband is a dog person.
49. I get huggy when I'm drunk. I also talk in a Texan accent. I then vehemently deny everything the next day.
50. I really do believe in love.
